What You Can Do to Support Fair Mapmaking in Ohio?
- Join redistricting reformers across the country and take the End Gerrymandering Pledge.
- Meet with your legislator (and candidates for elected office) and ask them to take the pledge as well.
- Ask those who will actually take part in the new redistricting process to support the map that is the best for Ohio and focus on what’s good for the voters, not what’s good for their own political party. Specifically, ask them to work together to make a bipartisan and transparent map, the one that requires majority approval from both parties in both chambers of the Ohio Statehouse.
